Warning to the Returnees
It all started with any material on the net. The inhabitants of Czernikovic in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship published a four-minute movie on social media, informing the residents of Wrocław about the candidacy of Isabella Bodnar for the city's president. The material focused on the candidate's husband and his company Ekopartner. The publication and its content caused the Polish MP 2050 to be so upset that she decided to sue the film's authors in electoral mode.
The video described an illegal landfill of hazardous waste, which the company of the husband of Isabella Bodnar, Maciej B., was to home in a erstwhile gravel pit in Czernikowice. The residents were afraid about the situation and feared for their lives and the safety of their families. The film's authors asked the crucial question whether Isabella Bodnar and her husband planned a akin organization of akin “attractions” in Wrocław.
One of the people in the movie is very clear about the policy:
It's a farce that a woman who has a husband can tell a gangster, a garbage baron, has a chance to become president of Wrocław.
Isabella Bodnar reacted to the recording by filing a suit in electoral procedure to the Wrocław territory Court. She requested a ban on the dissemination of false information about the alleged illegal disposal of waste and on the relation of her name with her husband's activities. She besides expected correction and apology, but the court rejected her application.
Reasons for the court
Although the gathering had a secret character, Interia's service gained access to the court's order and its justification regarding 1 of the 3 villagers.
A part of the article on the portal mentions that the territory Attorney's Office in Złotorya initiated an investigation into the illegal disposal of waste in the gravel pit in Czernikovice between 17 January and 23 March 2023. It has been confirmed that the waste on the site is stored in breach of the approval of the Marshal of the Lower Silesian Region.
Judge Renata Szczerbowska had no uncertainty about the engagement of Izabeli Bodnar in the ‘EkoPartners’ company which manages the landfill. Currently, her husband is the pro-Proctor, but before 18 November 2015, she served as an MP. The Court of First Instance noted that the site was repeatedly inspected following complaints from residents concerning the alleged retention of chemical waste.
The court besides focused on assessing whether the recording refers to the political activity of Isabella Bodnar as a candidate for president of Wrocław, as well as whether it is possible to talk about agitation in this case. In the end, it was considered that specified conditions were not met, as the statements afraid the husband of the MP and his company, and he does not compete in the upcoming elections. For this reason, the case should not be dealt with by electoral procedure.
